We already have ROOT_FLASH_SIZE variable for machines, which specifies builtin flash size. Distros may use it to decide what to put into rootfs, check its size, etc. I'd like to propose to add setting like RAM_SIZE which would list available RAM. Generally, that would be in line with more comprehensive declaritive machine descriptions we move towards with introduction of MACHINE_FEATURES. Clever distro could use RAM_SIZE to select alternative packages/settings. For example, if we ever come to Firefox/Minimo being default browser for distros, RAM_SIZE="32" machines may still prefer something smaller. -- Best regards, Paul mailto:pmiscml@gmail.com
